You should see the old demonstration videos about these when they first came out, these things would go anywhere and they float of I remember correctly, the old videos are on RUclips somewhere

I watched it, looks like fun.
REALLY Cool!! Thanks for showing it. 😁👊
I wouldn't stop until it ran again!
Go to the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum in Fairbanks Alaska and see the only operational one in the U.S.
Check it out at their web site.
I recently saw a youtube short of a Fordson Snow Machine

Why am I surprised that you of all people would find a Fordson Snowcat?
Just wished I owned it. I would get that running again.
NelsonStudios did you ask the owner if he would let you restore it?
Where is this snow cat located?
This looks like the mining museum in Butte Montana
@@MontanaIR That is the World Minning Museum in Butte, Mt. My wife and I were there in 2015. Had a great trip to Ak from NC. Tried to post a photo.
Thank you! I think it's cool, too! Where was this one when you were looking at it?
Butte mining museum in Montana.
I'm very happy you shared this. Thank you! Hope it gets fully restored. Do you know what is happening to it?
Sorry just saw this. Safe in a museum.
@@acme663ryo you're fine. I found a video of a reproduction this week (or something like it. I'll find the video and share it here.
When yo nuts doing that much work - replace em wiv cogs! 😂
Sure but saying "I am going out for a screw" is way cooler than "I am going out for a cog". Now that I type that they both sound dirty.
where that seat is looks like a death trap to me. Cool old machine
old time engineer the men of that era were too stubborn to die.
I assume that they turn out rather than in, but yes what a meat grinder.
